FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — Police in Alaska say no one else is at risk following the deaths of four people, including an infant, in a hotel in what appears to be a murder-suicide.

Hotel staff called Fairbanks police and fire departments to a Hampton Inn on Friday afternoon. When officers arrived, a man found crying in a second-floor hallway directed police to a nearby room, where they found the bodies.

Authorities said in a news release they are not identifying the man who pointed them toward the bodies because he is not a suspect.
